Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If using mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter to distribute evenly.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain, or with butter or jam if desired.
